Letian Wang

Hi there! I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto, where I am so fortunate to be supervised by the brilliant Prof. Steven Waslander (Nicest Steve Ever!) in the Toronto Robotics and AI Lab. I'm affiliated with Vector Institute founded by Prof. Geoffrey Hinton. Previously, I was also fortunate to do research with/at:

and as a Research Intern at/with I obtained my bachelor's degree with highest honor at Beihang University, China.

My research interests lie in the intersection between autonomous driving, robotics, machine learning, computer vision, with special interest in 3D vision, multimodal agent, end-to-end driving, human-robot interaction, and behavior forecasting. I recently focus on developping generalizable decision-making and scalable perception systems, powered by foundation models and learning paradigm that scales well with data, viewing safety as the most precious priority.

I have authored 1 book, was the winner of 2022 CARLA autonomous driving challenge, and won the best paper award honorable mention at RA-L 2021, first prize in the National Challenge Cup 2017 (全国挑战杯一等奖, known as the Olympics of sci./tech. for university students in China), and co-founded a start-up in industrial UAVs.

I am always happy to chat or collaborate with people with different backgrounds. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to reach out!

I'm looking for internship in 2025, and exploring post-doc, industrial positions, and academic position for 2026.
